Plush, generous and sun loving, Grenache is one of the world’s most widely planted red varieties, also known as Garnacha in Spain. It delivers vibrant flavours of strawberry, raspberry and red cherry, supported by subtle spice, a hint of earth, and occasionally touches of dried herbs or white pepper. Australian expressions, particularly from McLaren Vale, are celebrated for their balance of juicy fruit, savoury complexity and fine, sandy tannins. It’s a wine that’s both approachable and layered, perfect for drinking young or with a few years of cellaring.
Food Pairing
Exceptionally food friendly, Grenache pairs well with grilled mushrooms, duck breast, or tapas style chorizo and olives. It’s equally at home alongside herb roasted chicken, pork belly, or Mediterranean style vegetables.
